Do you live in a body that requires more than the "usual amount" of care to maintain?
Are you so overwhelmed by the daily regimen of living with your disease that you don't have the time or energy to do those things you know would keep you in the best shape you could be in? Do you feel "out of control" of your body as you wait for the next "challenge" that your disease throws at you? Is your body or spirit overworked, overstressed and perhaps undernourished as a result of chronic illness?
Optimal wellness is an evasive creature, even when there are no additional challenges to face other than time-management and lack of motivation. Throw in a chronic illness, and "wellness" seems like a pipe dream.
New Day Wellness can help you if your body has limitations, but your spirit is boundless. I am here for you if you want to do everything possible to stay well as long as possible, but you just feel overwhelmed and can't imagine adding more to do!
Do some of these scenarios remind you of someone?
You have cystic fibrosis and spend hours each day doing respiratory treatments, taking medications, doing chest PT, trying to eat enough and sleep enough. Your doctor has told you to exercise and you don't even know where to start!
You have just completed your chemotherapy and have recovered from surgery and know you are stressed out and chronically fatigued from all you've been through. Life is so different now, and you just want to feel 'normal' again.
You've just been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder and you can't fathom how you are going to work exercise into your life, especially because you are drained of your energy and can't seem to find your "life force".
You know you are overweight and a "walking risk factor' for a cardiac event, but you don't know how to modify your lifestyle in a way that will last beyond the end of the week!
Characteristics of the "ideal" client
- You are motivated to do whatever you can to take back control of your health as much as possible.
- You want to learn how to be healthier and are genuinely curious about how "optimal wellness" would look in your life.
- You have a chronic disease, but you know that you are not your disease, and you are not willing to be a "victim" or "sufferer" of such-and-such (fill in the blank).
- You are willing to do what it takes to be as fit, as strong, and as well as you can be in the body you have.
